It can be both 1 and 9 simutaneously

In PEMDAS, the priority of Multiplication and Division is the same. It's a shame people fail to realize this.

Multiplication/division and addition/subtraction are executed from left to right. The parentheses also encapsulate the 2+1 in the numerator. If rewritten as presented the expression would look as such:



It's easier to see the order when presented like this.

So, the answer is 1.

Christians are all bad at math.

lol 5/21 end of world. must have not carried the 1

So, the answer is 1.

Are you being sarcastic or are you really just that much of a dumbass...?

Christians don't predict the end of the world though.
Also maybe if they didn't use a dumb abreviation to teach order of operation but instead taught them it goes left to right for multiplication/division and addition/subtraction instead of one specific one first.

How could someone even remotely think that the answer to that is 1? Really? You can't make a mistake that stupid with that equation.

So, the answer is 1.
That would still be 9 I believe because you do the 1+2 then 3*6 then 18/2

fools.

6/2(1+2) = jesus (also known as 1 because jesus is #1 Person)

That would still be 9 I believe because you do the 1+2 then 3*6 then 18/2
